1964 Cassius Clay vs 1973 George Foreman

I'd bet on a peak Tyson and Wlad to beat that version of Ali in a heart beat. Heck, I'd even bet on a peak Frazier to do the job.

Anyway I see Ali winning by either a lopsided decision, our late round stoppage.

 

Wlad? Why?

 

TommyV, simply because he's shown that he's only vunerable to hard punching pressure guys. Ali was neither hard punching even relative to his size nor a pressure fighter. Wlad feasts on those type of fighters. There is however the speed and the reach factor. Ali had a freakishly long reach so Wlad won't dominate him like he did Byrd. Plus Ali is arguably the best H2H speedster ever, making me think the fights'll be rather competitive. I think Ali would win less fights if they fought several times.

 

Get ****ed

Ali has more than enough power and speed to tag Wlad and hurt him. You think the man that stopped Bonavena AND Foreman is gonna' have any trouble hurting Wlad Klitschko?!?!? He'd also beat the **** out of his Brother, they are not in Ali's class. Before you go on about size David Haye outboxed a much bigger man and without hardly any of the panache that Ali had.

Wlad is a much better fighter than Valuev, but then Ali is better than Wlad and will find a way around that jab and use his usual varied head assault (can't think of much more terrifying than the speed those hands went come flying at his face) to stop Wlad in around 7.

 

Fleaman, when I say hard punching, I mean like top ten for their time period. And there is no need to be rude. Ali is my all time favorite boxer ever. I'm through posting to you if any of your next posts is negative.

 

Clay outclasses Foreman by a wide margin. May stop him late. Clay would be too fast, too athletic, too fit, and have too solid a chin for Foreman.

 

Clay knocks out an exhausted Foreman but without being on the ropes too much this time.

Clay KO 10 Foreman

 

Cassius Clay Late rd Ko. George was too muscular & slow .He would heavy arms by the mid rounds. Clay would have won every rd.Foreman may have punchers chance but I doubt it. Clay was so much faster on his feet & his hand speed would have made big George look real bad.

 

Personally ,I don`t think anybody would have beaten Clay,pre vietnam.

 

A 22 year old Cassius Clay would start out a bit nervously but,once he'd settle down,would spear George with left jabs and right hands. He'd use his movement constantly,rapping out blazing combinations and win on points. Probably 10-5 in rounds. Come the return fight,he'd stop George by the eighth.

 

ali,any day of the week.poor george wouldn't touch him after they'd shaken hands.

 

Spot on Fleaman :good
